Description
“Finding Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment: Making Sense of God, Life, and Success” is not just another book on spirituality. It presents a comprehensive, logical framework for biblical Christianity, offering a unique perspective that is both insightful and practical. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of God’s plan for their lives, along with detailed guidance on discovering their unique, God-given identity and life purpose.
The book’s premise is that God designed life as a personal journey of discovery, with the Holy Spirit acting as your close guide, revealing truths as you seek understanding.
The book argues that although an infinite number of events could happen in one’s life, God has uniquely arranged your life experiences to help you find the right answers to four Essential Questions.
- Who Is God?
- How Has God Designed Life to Be Lived?
- Who Am I?, and
- What is God Asking Me to Do?
God desires to use all our life experiences – past, present, and future – to help us discover the correct answers to these questions. As you search for and find the correct answers and surrender to God’s leadership by aligning your life with the truths you discover, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment emerge and deepen.

I have been anticipating this book’s release since I was Mr.Girard’s student many years ago! I am so excited that it’s finally here! I appreciated always his kindness and helping me in math but also our conversations about faith and life. 🙂

Art has been a spiritual mentor and role model for me for many years now. He has gained immense wisdom from decades of faithfully pursuing the Lord in every aspect of his life. The Lord has given him a unique heart for helping and guiding others, and he is truly passionate about leading others to a Christ-centered life. He has blessed me and so many others with his encouragement, honesty, and knowledge as a teacher, pastor, and friend. My faith journey would not be the same without him, and now he is able to help so many others through this book.

Art Girard is absolutely the pastor and father figure anyone would ask for in their life. I met Art when I was a new teacher and he was the department chair. I felt so safe around him asking him for advice. I also had the chance to listen to him preach at our school’s Christian Club as well as at my church’s retreat. He is full of wisdom and life experiences to share. Art is disciplined and full of passion. I remember one specific conversation in which he mentioned he would drive early to school and spend time in silence and solitude to start off his day. That alone says a lot about Art.

There are moments in life when you hit bumps in the road—not necessarily because of bad choices, but simply because life happens. During one of those seasons, I had the privilege of working with Art through several weeks of life coaching. His guidance was thoughtful, impactful, and truly spirit-led. Each session brought clarity, encouragement, and personal growth that I deeply value. David Wong, MD

There was one consensus among the students at Rowland High School – everyone loved Mr. Girard! To get your class schedule on the first day of school and see Mr. Girard’s name on it was a blessing! Math class with him meant compassionate learning, thorough lessons, and daily motivational quotes to reflect on and journal. He naturally leads with empathy and genuine care for his students, their performance, and their wellbeing. Take a dive into his mind and find your faith and soul refreshed, rejuvenated, and renewed.

I’m thrilled about Art’s new book, ‘Finding Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment’! I’ve had the privilege of knowing Art for over 40 years, both as a dear friend and as the principal at my children’s Christian school. Over the decades, I’ve seen his unwavering faith, integrity, and deep commitment to serving the Lord in every aspect of his life.
Art’s leadership and compassion have always embodied the heart of a true servant of God. His guidance and example have influenced countless lives—students, parents, and colleagues alike. It is no surprise that his dedication to God’s Word and his passion for sharing spiritual truth have led to this book, which I believe will inspire and encourage many.
Finding Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment beautifully captures Art’s wisdom, humility, and lifelong dedication to teaching and living according to Scripture. His ability to communicate God’s truth with clarity and grace is a gift, and I am confident that readers will find both comfort and challenge in his words. This work stands as a testament to his faithfulness and to the goodness of God working through him.
I wholeheartedly recommend Art Girard and his book to anyone seeking deeper understanding and encouragement in their Christian walk. His message is sincere, Scripture-centered, and filled with the kind of spiritual insight that only comes from years of faithful service and devotion to God.
